A FUNGUS –“A fungal perspective on human purpose: The idea of the individual — and there is no fungal, equivalent — arose during a period of rapid change in human society in the abstract, individualism looked defensible, even appealing. The ideal individual was to be educated and enlightened, someone we’d all like to know. However, as a practical matter, the culture of enlightened individualism reformed itself after a brief period into a cult of personal freedom. Over the next several centuries, unbridled personal freedom and chance distributions of natural resources led to the creation of certain wealthy and isolated colonies of humans. Their prosperity excited envy and the rest of the world did what they could to emulate them. Large populations of humans moved from a very simple experience of the natural world to the expectation of a lifestyle similar to what the exploiters were enjoying. This clamour for plenitude —for meat in daily diets, for manufactured goods, for personal comfort, for leisure activities — put enormous stress on the biosphere.”
